No more HU cash games at 888

Aug 27, 2013

888poker will no longer offer heads up no-limit cash games to its online poker players. According to a post on the 2+2 poker forum, the decision was made to create a more attractive poker room. “In keeping with our strategy to make our poker room competitive and fun, the decision has been made to remove the heads up cash games" said an official representative.

Last year, many networks worked in solving what players and operators consider as "predatory" problems. Microgaming for example, eliminated all heads up cash games and instead offered an 8-man fast-fold heads up variation. Another alternative was created by iPoker, bringing out the “heads up hogging prevention” which monitors innactive players at heads up tables. PartyPoker and iPoker for instance, began applying limits on the amount of heads up tables a player can participate at.
